Bottle shared @ tasting. Opaque pitch black color, average sized brown head. Aroma is malts, a bit medicinal, a hint of smoke, something weird. Taste malts, dark malts, moderately roasty, roasted bitter. Nicely roasty bitter finish. Taste is way better than the aroma, although it gets a lot better after a while. Totally different from what it smelled like initially, way better. Nice.

Bottle shared thanks to Countbeer. Pours near black with a ring beige head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, overripe dark fruit, molasses. Flavour is heavy sweet and over moderate bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Thank you Tommy for sharing this beer with me. Really excited to try it. Enjoyed at room temp in a stemmed wine glass
A - Pitch black, minor head that quickly fades.
S - Quite ashy. a ton of cocoa and marshmallow with just a touch of turpentine.
T - Very ashy, loads of milk chocolate, lots of licorice. sort of a boldness of really nice English bittering hops, creamy vanilla and charcoal
M - Very creamy. Really sticks around for some time.
O - I enjoyed this a LOT! If you can find a bottle, send it to me!

Bottled at Woodshop 7. Fruity chocolate nose with berry and vanilla. Boozy flavor with vanilla, wood, and lots of chocolate. Smooth, sweet, and tasty stuff.
